Nursing Program Switches to Virtual Education With Shadow Health

The rise of COVID-19 may have caused cancellations across much of the United States, but healthcare professionals never stop treating those in need. The Liberty University School of Nursing hasn’t paused adapting its program to a virtual format while continuing to train the next generation of nurses on the frontline of patient care.

As is the case with all Liberty departments, the School of Nursing made the transition to an online format and is using the creativity of its staff to take the classroom into the students’ homes. Students are still required to adhere to the Virginia Board of Nursing’s criteria and will fulfill their 500 hours of clinical practice through Shadow Health, a University of Florida startup that conducts virtual clinical simulations with life-like digital “patients.”
